the internet is not the web

yep, IRC, if I was at the computer I had a window with FreeNode and QuakeNET.

And a condescending Plan9 user, "Not only is UNIX dead, it's starting to smell really bad", as we say.

Plan9 has multiple native web browsers, Mothra, Abaco & Charon. You could run Opera in Linux emulation mode and also use VNC to another machine.

Did you see the part where I was a website devops for 10 years using Plan9?

What? There's a Linux emulation mode in Plan9? O_o How well does it work? Could I run anything Linux in Plan9?

EDIT: Woah.
